Bizarre iframes question

[neooptic]

I've been asked to do an audit of http://www.equipment4garages.com/.

The first thing I did was check the code, and saw that the whole thing has a clone of the original site in an iframe. I can't for the life of me think why anybody would do that, so I was wondering if someone here could shed some light on it?

very odd indeed.

Its a frame-forwarded url, it's something 123-reg.co.uk still offers

They sell it as "if you do this you can have two homepages/urls with different titles and descriptions but the same content" ... its nothing of the sort.

It would be near impossible to offer real SEO to the new url, it would do nothing for it.

It feels like a case of the company rebranding and this was the shortest way for them to "move" the site to a new place.

To do an audit just have one line - can't see website, it's in an iframe

good luck
